Important: Connect all cables securely and properly (with stereo cables: left with left, right with right). Do
not bundle or wrap them with the power cable.
Not all of these steps may apply to your specific audio/video setup, but you will need to do Steps 1 and 5
at the very least.
1. Connect PMD-500D to your TV monitor or display by doing one of the following:
• Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI Output to the HDMI input of your TV monitor or display.
• Use an RCA composite video cable to connect the Composite Video Output to the composite
video input of your TV monitor or display.
• Use RCA component (Y/Pb/Pr) video cables to connect the Component Video Outputs to the
component video inputs of your TV monitor or display.
• Audio only: Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial output to the coaxial input of your TV monitor.
Alternatively, use a digital optical TOSLINK cable (IEC60958 Type II S/PDIF compatible) to connect
the optical audio output to the optical input of your TV monitor.
2. Optional: Connect PMD-500D to your sound system by doing either/both of the following:
• Use XLR cables or a stereo RCA cable to connect the audio outputs (balanced or unbalanced) to
the analog inputs of your external receiver, amp, powered speakers, etc.
• Use a digital optical TOSLINK cable (IEC60958 Type II S/PDIF compatible) to connect the optical
audio output to the optical input of your external receiver.
3. Optional: Connect a USB hard drive or SD/SDHC card with playable content to the USB port or SD
card slot.
4. Optional: Use a 9-pin D-Sub cable to connect the Remote Input to a host device (usually a computer)
that will control it.
